Freezing sauces in ice cube trays?

My aunt used to freeze hot dog chili in ice cube trays because it was the perfect amount for a couple of hot dogsI have done this for alfredo sauce but I don't know how long it lastsAny ideas? How about spaghetti sauce? Like PregoThere is no way I can use an entire jar myself, even a small one, so I'd like to freeze extra sauce in the trays as well so I don't waste itI never use a lot at one time.I have tried doing searches online, but everything is just if it frozen in freezing bags or tupperware, both of which would hold far too much for meThe ice cubes trays are not sealed, but I do cover them pretty tightly with aluminum foil.Thanks for any help! )

Answer:

I do this often, usually for stockI keep 3 old plastic trays for just that purposeFill the plastic trays with sauce, stock or whatever, after they are frozen dump them out into freezer bagsThen you are free to us as much or as little as you needMy freezer is loaded with chicken stock, beef stock, vegetable stock fish stock in cube formSince I often have guests for dinner the soups, chili, pasta sauce are put up in 2 serving portions, A quart freezer bag is just about right for this.
You can also buy it in a tube and just squeeze what you want on a slice of bread and toast it.
Roasted garlic is great on toasted Italian or French bread.
Roast it in the oven until soft and then spread it on breadI usually make a little foil packet, slice the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, then bake at 400 until the garlic is nice and tender.
put it in a lot of itallian dishes,cook it on the stove until done
